holidays from June 22 - July 24
by Jiri Eischmann
Hello dear ambassadors,
because I'm a media wrangler for EMEA I think it's important to inform
you that I won't be available because I'll be on holidays till July
24th. During this time, Jaroslav Reznik is taking over the media
wrangler position, so assign all requests for media to jreznik and
communicate with Jaroslav in this matter.
I will try to make it to FAmSCo meetings, but it will difficult. So in
case I won't make I apologize for my absence. Hopefully, when I return
from holidays I'll recover and work twice as much :)
BTW I'll be travelling in USA (NYC), El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, and Panama. If you happen to live somewhere around and wanna
go for a beer/coffee let me know at jiri(a)eischmann.cz ;)

Latam ambassadors metting today 21:00 UTC
by alejandro perez
Saludos,
El día de hoy se realizo la primera reunion del recientemente electo
FamSco, uno de los temas a tratar fue que la autorización del gasto de
presupuesto se realizara de manera escalonada dentro de presupuesto por
region, que significa esto:
Que un miembro de famsco o card holder, puede aprobar un presupuesto de
0 a 499 dls, de 500 a 1999 dls debe ser aprobado en una reunion regional
de embajadores con un quorum de 5 embajadores de la region (punto a
discutir), de 2000 a 5000 es aprobado por Famsco y de 5000+ se requiere
aprobación de Famsco mas un miembro de comArch o sea el Fedora Project
Lider.
Esto es importante ya que region de latam puede aprobar parte de su
presupuesto sin tener que ir a famsco a menos que el presupuesto sea
mayor a 1999 dls.
Por ello es importante que nos reunamos para definir las normas en latam
para el manejo de esa aprobación miércoles 20 de Junio a las 21:00 UTC,
para verificar la hora de la reunion en su zona horaria ir a
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2012&month=06&d...
Seria importante contar con la participación de la mayoría de los
embajadores.
Gracias

goals for F18 cycle
by Jiri Eischmann
Hi,
every FAmSCo member got a homework at the first meeting. And the
homework was to set personal goals we want to achieve in the next months
and make other ambassadors acquainted with them. So here they are:
1) I'd like to make a comprehensive material that would help ambassadors
find the best ways to promote Fedora in their region. When a new
ambassador starts he doesn't know what to do, how to do etc. I'd like to
make a list of descriptive suggestions, activities that are worth doing
and work. It won't be a "must-do" list, rather tips to improve
ambassador's job. I'll start working on this when I return from holidays
and I will appreciate help of experienced ambassadors.
2) I'd like to improve cooperation and flow of information between
ambassadors and other groups in Fedora. In the material for ambassadors,
I'd like to include a section that would list things that are currently
new or important and ambassadors should propagate them in the community
(test days, urgent need for help in some group etc.).
3) I'd like to improve swag&media planning and distribution globally and
locally. This still doesn't work very well. We have to make sure that
swag is ready at the time when release parties are.
4) My personal goal is also to find new ambassadors in European
countries where we currently have no active representatives (e.g. Poland
or Slovakia).

[Event Report] Barcamp Mumbai 9, India, Sunday, June 17, 2012
by Shakthi Kannan
Hi,
I attended Barcamp Mumbai 9 [1] at Veermata Jijabai Technological
Institute (VJTI) [2], Mumbai, Maharashtra, India on Sunday, June 17,
2012. After an informal introduction, four parallel tracks were
scheduled. Each session was 20 minutes long, and 10 minutes between
talks for people to move between the halls. Although most of the talks
were non-technical, there were quite a few interesting sessions.
Raj Desai presented on "The Math of Music". He explained how the
rhythms or beats used in music formed a pattern, and how they often
use prime numbers. For example, a 5-beat sequence is made from a
combination of a 2-3 beat sequence, or, a 7-beat sequence is made from
a 2-2-3 or a 3-2-2 beat sequence. He also played the different beats,
giving numerous examples.
Krishna Patel played the short movie "Geri's Game" [3] in his session
on "How To Watch a Movie", and explained the different aspects in a
movie like composition, props, sound, colour etc. He mentioned that
one might have to re-watch a movie several times focusing on just one
aspect at a time to observe and learn how they have been used.
The session on "How to memorise a pack of 52 playing cards in under 2
minutes" by Aniceto Pereira taught how to use two simple mnemonic
systems to memorise a pack of cards. For the four suites, we used the
letters C (clubs), S (spades), H (hearts), D (diamonds). For each card
in a suite, a consonant is assigned. For example, Ace was assigned the
letter 't' or 'd', because there is one vertical line in it, referring
to one. The number '2' was assigned the letter 'n' because there were
two downward strokes in it. So, if we had an Ace ('t') of clubs ('c'),
we would combine the letter and the consonant to form an image, say
"cat", and associate it with our environment to remember it. For each
card that we have, we build a series of images to remember them.
Anurag Patel's [4] session on "Sh*t people say to a chat bot" was
hilarious! He had created http://rickfare.com to compute Mumbai's
autorickshaw fare calculation, and later added support for other
cities as well. There were times when people started to chat with the
bot, and he shared quite a few entertaining, priceless conversations
from the server logs.
The talk on "Negotiating with VCs - An Entrepreneur’s Legal Guide" by
Abhyudaya Agarwal was very informative, and detailed. I had presented
"Quite Universal Circuit Simulator - A Qt Love Story" [5], an
introduction to electrical circuit theory using Qucs [6]. You can
install Qucs on Fedora using:
$ sudo yum install qucs
I also had a chance to stay at Anu Shakti Nagar [7], a quiet, serene,
beautiful residential township in Mumbai in this visit. Few pictures
taken during the trip are available in my gallery [8].

FAmSco meeting 2012-06-18 minutes
by Christoph Wickert
My fellow ambassadors,
the newly elected FAmSCo just held it's very first meeting. Sorry I did
not send out a reminder earlier, but I was a bit confused about the new
meeting time myself. We have now settled for
Monday at 17:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting-2.
And believe it or not, all 7 FAmSCo members were present and we had a
very productive meeting. I was re-elected as FAmSCo chair and appointed
Daniel Bruno as vice-chair.
I am looking forward to work with the new FAmSCo and I hope we can keep
up the pace and attendance.
